I would trade him right now for a number 1 pick. Sounds crazy I know but he likely only has one more good year anyway with Herm as HC. His best years are far behind him already...this offensive line takes another big step bakckwards next year with the loss of Shields. Add to that the fact that he no longer runs angry. The way LJ ran the ball in lmited duty from preseason of 2005 into the first half of last season was the most tenacious performance I've ever seen by a running back and it's because he was pissed off....but that aggression is gone. His contract is up after next year and it's doubtful he'll be back....if CP franchises him and he does come back he'll be a locker room cancer. Might as well get something for him while you can.
The key is to have an offensive rushing attack as a whole that averages 4+ yards/carry. Whether you get that from one back carrying the football 30 times a game or splitting it up among many backs is irrelevant IMO. The age of the 1 back offense is behind us.
